About this banknote
The Banco Central do Brasil issued this 1 centavo banknote in 1967 as part of the provisional Cruzeiro Novo series. This series was introduced to facilitate the transition from the old cruzeiro to the new currency unit, the cruzeiro novo, by overprinting existing banknotes with the new denomination.
The front of the note features a black circular overprint with the text "BANCO CENTRAL" and the new currency unit within the circle. The original design, printed by Thomas De La Rue & Company, Limited, London, includes a portrait of Getúlio Vargas. The back depicts national unity through imagery of factories, gears, and a man with a metal shaft. This variant, Pick 183b, is identified by the "Ministro" title below the right signature and was issued in series numbers 3152 to 4055.
